The Bedford Police Department is getting ready for summer with TWO different summer camps for the kiddos!
First, the BPD is hosting a free summer basketball camp for incoming 6th grade boys and girls at The Bedford Center YMCA (2801 Forest Ridge Dr.) the week of July 10-14. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., campers will learn dribbling, passing, rebounding, and shooting skills, as well as defense and teamwork. Free lunch will be provided each day.
In addition, the BPD is looking for kiddos ages 12-14 who are interested in becoming a Junior Police Explorer! From 8 a.m. to noon during the week of July 24-27 at the Police Department (2121 L. Don Dodson Dr.), summer camp participants will learn about patrol functions, internet safety, and crime scenes, in addition to participating in a SWAT demonstration and different physical fitness activities. Please note, a release of liability waiver will be required to participate.
Interested in signing your kiddo up for either camp? Space is limited, so contact Officer Spears for registration information at deidre.spears@bedfordtx.gov or call 817-952-2427.
